JOSEPH HAMMERL, OF LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK.

PAINTING AND GRAINING TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,874, dated October 6, 1885.

Application filed August 16, 1884. Serial No. 140,744.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I JosEPH HAMMERL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Long Island City, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Painting and Graining Tools; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved graining-tool. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line :0 00,-Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modification of the same, and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts in all the figures.

My invention has reference to painting and graining tools, and is an improvement on the graining-tool on which I secured Letters Patent No. 273,519 on March 6, 1883, and has for its object the providing of a paintingtool of this class with a sleeve, and also a means of fastening the two together; and it consists in the improved device which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The body of my improved painting-tool consists of a pad, A, of any suitable shape, constructed of felt or other absorbent material, which is pressed, cut, or otherwise formed into (Model.)

the desired shape. F is a sleeve, which fits the pad A, and is provided with tongues G, bent inwardly, which act upon the pad of felt as spring-catches and keep it from working out of the sleeve while in use. time it allows the pad to be pushed through the sleeve, as it becomes worn out, simply by releasing it from the tongues or catches G.

If desired, the sleeve can be provided with a handle, of any suitable shape or form, instead of allowing the felt to extend entirely through the sleeve. In that case the springcatches would retain the pad in place after it had been inserted from the open end, the same as when the felt extended entirely through.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. The combination, with a pad of felt or analogous material, of a sleeve or handle having struck up springs or tongues bearing against the said pad, substantiallyIas and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of a pad of felt or analogous material, a handle for the same, and a connecting-sleeve having struck-up springs or tongues, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH HAMMERL.
